The Graduate: Why Should Everyone Else Pay for Other People’s Dumb (and
Hedonistic) Career Choices
January 2, 2012 - 8:10 am - by Barry Rubin
I’ve recently made the acquaintance of a young man who has a problem. He is
28 years old; smart, of good moral character, and willing to work hard at
part-time jobs. He does not expect anyone else, including the government, to
support him. Yet he is puzzled and increasingly bitter that he cannot make
a good living.

#115 Promising to Learn a New Language
Throughout history, white people have a pretty poor record when it comes to
promises (see Americans, Native for examples). Thankfully, modern white
people are trying to erase the shame of the past by making promises to
themselves that they will never keep.
Writing a novel, going vegan, or sending their future kid to public school
are just a few of these great breakable promises. But by far the most

I have to say, I am getting a bit sick and tired of this nonsensical lament
about how rotten it is that those running for president are “rich” people.
Stop it right now, America. The fact is that we’ve never really had a poor
man as president so talking about it as if it is news that rich people
often seek the presidency is stupid. Not only that, but today it is
impossible for a poor or even middle class man to run for president anyway,

Why Would God Send Good People to Hell?
I’ve been blogging this week on the existence and nature of Hell and,
unsurprisingly, I’ve received tremendous response from Christians and non-
Christians alike (much of it hostile). The topic polarizes believers and

of permanent justice, while others prefer to believe God would annihilate
rebellious souls rather than assign them to Hell eternally. Non-believers
often point to the... 阅读全帖

Question: "Does God killing people make Him a murderer?"
Answer: The Old Testament records God killing multitudes of people, and
some people want to believe this makes Him a murderer. The misconception
that “killing” and “murder” are synonymous is partially based on the
King James mistranslation of the sixth commandment, which reads, “Thou
shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13). However, the word kill is a translation of
the Hebrew word ratsach, which nearly always refers to intentional killing

From the 2016 FBI crime statistics:
There were 15,070 murder victims. 73% of these deaths involved firearms (
mostly handguns). That makes about 11,000 people killed by guns for the
whole year. In a country with over 320 million people. (I’m leaving
suicides out, as the method is immaterial.)
Doing the math, a little over 30 people per day were killed by firearms.
In 2016, 37,461 people in the US were killed by motor vehicles. That’s well
over 102 people per day.
